Bonnie morrrrrrrrrrrning ....

28th March 2022 (Monday)    11.00 .... with the clocks changing (and me


having caught up with the clock change) it is now my ‘season’ for an early morrrrning potter on the beach.   It was really relaxing pottering along the tides edge... even the birds seemed to be enjoying the balmy morning.

Back at Ivy I booked the car in to get a broken spring fixed;   Brian  (mechanic) is picking the car up on Wednesday morning, so I don’t have to go to St Andrews at all.   I’ll get the bike out after ‘morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee’ and take a turn round the villages;   then I’ll do a wee bit of ‘work’ in the garden in the afternoon.... doing Soduko’s and feeding/conversing with ‘Blob) in The Hutte.

16.30    Once again we have had a gorgeous day;  I’m likin’ this spell of weather ...even when the haar drifts in from the North Sea.  Haar can make interesting photographs on the way in (or out).... before it obliterates everything.


I had a run to the harbour, where I had morrrrrrrning coffee and a good blether aboard ‘Sundance’, with Steve.   The ‘boys’ were next door, making ‘Defiant’ ready for ‘crane in’;  it is a brilliant day for painting.   When I’d finished at the harbour I came home by way of Elie Estate.... and the estate road was busy.   A couple of ‘young lauds’ were coming out of the estate;  one on some kind of quad bike and the other on a mini motor bike:  I then met three cyclists, and a couple of girls with a pram/ buggy thing.   All of them taking advantage of the lovely weather.

The ‘work’ in the garden never materialized.... but I fed ‘Blob’.   ‘Blob’ woke me up with his whistling.   I sort of heard him and thought “jings, Blob is happy and not far away”.   He was happy;  and where was he?.....he was inside The Hutte, perched on my foot givin’ it laldie.    No wonder he woke me up. 

22.00    I was talking to the ‘postie’ today and he is expecting bad weather on



Wednesday.    On checking the weather forecast, it’s to be colder with sleet or snow showers.    March came in like a lamb.... I hope it isn’t going to go out like a lion.   Tomorrow’s forecast for KY 9 is ‘drizzle with a moderate wind’ (from the East);  not very promising.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
